  • Thank you for the concise answer!

    Without over praising him either, I can see how such organizational changes could prove very beneficial during the first period of the Soviet government when facing threats from multiple sides

  • Trotsky was also an innovative commander

    Could I have more information on this please? :)

    I have been listening to the Proles Pod on the Stalin eras recently. They mentioned how Trotsky's indecision during the conference for the treaty of Brest-Litovsk (indecision they attributed to Trotsky's firm belief in world revolution which made him refuse to initially engage with imperialist powers) cost the Soviet government additional parts of Ukraine, Finland and Poland.

    Because of that I was left with the impression that he was a bit ineffective lol but I actually don't know that much about Trotsky's military accomplishments truth be told

  • You'd have to look at the poverty reduction within the greater context of the Chinese socialist project to see overall how China is on the path towards socialism, which is an uneven, dialectical process and not some paved road from A to B.

    Thank you for articulating this. I feel like on some levels I was aware of this but I could not put it into words. Of course I too am aware that exclusively lifting people out of poverty does not necessarily mean socialism. And yet when looking more broadly at the situation in China, it feels very uncritical and reductionist to me to completely dismiss the whole project and label it as "reformist".

    Your final paragraph was also a great read that I will definitely save to look more into it for myself

  • What matters is China has no intent on ever abolishing private property and thus cannot be considered socialist.

    Intention?? What are we, idealists?

    What matters is that people are lifted out of poverty. Whether or not there's an intention behind it, that is what is actually "irrelevant" here. The facts are still that people lives were drastically improved.

    The fact that you seem to care more about only having "your specific brand" of socialism over the tangibile material changes of the people solidifies in my mind the idea that you are (for me at least) an Ultra.

    And thus I would appreciate if you kindly stopped interacting with me, thank you

  • Sorry, I don't have all the labels down yet. But (assuming OP is also the same author of that essay) this seemed pretty Ultra to me:

    Having supposedly raised "800,000,000" individuals out of "extreme poverty" matters little on the question of socialism

    And the idea that lifting people out of poverty is "nonsense" because it doesn't follow the right books seems like Ultra mentality to me.

    Is my reasoning making sense? Or would that be an incorrect labeling on my part?

  • Would it not be correct to assume that the person whose main concern right after opening their account here (ie, you) was to advertise that platform is also the only editor of that project? What are the chances that it was all random?

  • Thank you for the quick explanation! That makes a lot of sense, especially when paired with the other user who pointed out the fact OP just opened the account.

    This post helped me to realize I don't know as much about Dengism as I probably should lol

  • I am a bit confused by this post. I thought Hexbear was pro China and did not subscribe to (what I would consider to be) Ultra talking points.

    Is 'Dengism' different from being pro-China? Could someone help me to better understand if/how I'm wrong?

  • Why critical support for Russia?

    Jump

  • That is something I do not agree with or understand on a moral level.

    Why are you bringing morality into this though? Putin is not a communist to my knowledge, so I doubt people are studying his every word to guide their praxis as if he was the second coming of Lenin.

    Putin is an ally against Western imperialism and its unipolar world order. That should be THE single most pressing issue to focus on for any Marxist in my opinion.

    And on a strategic level I do not see Russia as a reasonable or competent potential ally anymore after the recent years.

    Why not? Isn't Russia literally fighting the West and supporting anti-west movements in the global south? You might be seeing this through a more static lense maybe? As in, thinking that just because he's an ally now, he's always going to be an ally. But that's not really a Marxist mindset. Things constantly change and evolve.

    (I'm answering to "test" my knowledge on this as well. I promise I'm not attacking you, only the ideas, to see if what I write makes sense because I too am learning)
